About the Author

Born in Bremen, I spent lots of time at the circus school »Jokes« developing shows and little acts with juggling. Besides that I went to my favourite soccer team Werder Bremen many times. Moving to Karlsruhe in 2001 my life changed. Most of the time I spend with my studies and I try to enhance my abilities. In my spare time I read, work out, learn French and visit an old lady in a senior residence once a week.
